I have a line of smoke following my aircaft. What can this be? There's no damage or any reports of trouble. It's not contrails cause there's only one and it's directly below the aircraft.

FSX has the thing where if you take off from a snowy, dirty, or rainy surface, the 'propwash' snow, dirt, or water may follow you while you are in flight.

I'm away from my FSX machine right now but if I remember rightly it's 'Fuel Dump'. I think A2A use it to simulate some sort of engine fault at times (Accusim??). I found it annoying also and renamed a file in the Effects Folder to something like fx_B377_fueldump.fx.org so it would "go away". Forgive me, I know it's a cop out!!

The weather does sound right. It was snowing where I departed. It looks just like it would when I taxi and the "spray smoke whatever" is from the nose gear. So I guess that explains it.
